RED TABLE<\/h2>\n

KIM Hakhyun \/ digital \/ 7min. \/ 2021<\/h3>\n

This drawing animation depicts an unfolding surrealistic scene from a conundrum of everyday life. We see a boy wearing sunglasses and cross marks over his eyes playing with toy trains on a red table. For some reason, a stack of banknotes is present there, and the boy picks them up, holding them like cards. A dog barks, a toy freight train carries the stuffed dog toy. All of a sudden, it turns into a skeleton …<\/p>\n

In an ancient Chinese fable from approximately 1600 years ago, \u201cThe Peach Blossom Spring\u201d (\u6843\u82b1\u6e90\u8a18), a utopian world is described as having \u201cneatly arranged residences.\u201d Is today’s modernized China similar to this imaginary utopia? In this painstakingly made piece of work, conceived in a cartoon-like manner with a touch of black and white watercolor, a three-screen multi-image reveals various modes of living in a skyscraper.

HUNG Wei-Lin \/ digital \/ 15min. \/ 2020 <\/h3>\n

Ke Qi-hua, the author of “New English Grammar” read aloud in the film, is said to have been imprisoned many times in Taiwan under martial law, suspected of being a dissident intellectual. A “room” is a metaphor for his mental state, and the monotonous English sentences being pronounced are followed by a collage of recorded images and letters sent from prison to his family \u2015 cinematically recreating the spatial and temporal experiences of his life.<\/p>\n

Parallax<\/h2>\n

NOVE Hayato \/ digital \/ 34min. \/ 2021 <\/h3>\n

Two unusual characters, resembling a parent and a child, are wandering around. Doors and boxes reminiscent of elevators are effectively incorporated, the space is transforming, and ritual movements repeat on this journey without an end. “Parallax” is symbolically represented. One mystery follows another – and the pleasant composition progresses attractively. You can truly feel the charm of an animation that speaks using “pictures and movements.”<\/p>\n

\"\"NOVE Hayato <\/strong>
\nHe started working on his animation films in 2007 and has made Caterpillar (2013) and Affordance (2016) which was screened at several film festivals including the past Image Forum Festival.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
